Murderer (Alleged)

The Resume

    (circa 1981- )
    Born in El Salvador
    Convicted of murdering Chandra Levy (November 22, 2010)
    Sentenced to 60 years in prison (February 11, 2011)
    Conviction overturned by the District of Columbia Superior Court on the grounds that the prosecution had failed to turn over documents to the defense (2015)
    Prosecution declined to retry him (2016)
    Deported to his native El Salvador (2017)

Why he might be annoying:

    He was an illegal immigrant to the US.
    He failed to show up for work on the day Levy disappeared and his landlady recalled that his face got scratched and bruised around that time.
    He was convicted (February, 2002) of assaulting two women at knifepoint in Rock Creek Park, which is where Levy's remains were found.
    When 'Roll Call' suggested a possible connection, Washington, DC, Police Chief Charles H. Ramsey told reporters not to make 'too big a deal about him.'
    Assistant Police Chief Terrance Gainer went further, claiming that if Guandique were a viable suspect, the police would have been on him 'like flies on honey.'
    Investigators searched his prison cell and found a picture of Levy he had hidden in a magazine (2008).
    He harassed female staffers in prison.

Why he might not be annoying:

    The appointment of a new DC police chief (2006) and a series of Washington Post articles (2008) prompted the re-opening of the Levy case.
    Due to a botched search, there was no forensic evidence linking him to Levy.
    The prosecution's case relied heavily on jailhouse informants testifying that Guandique had admitted killing Levy to them.
    His conviction finally cleared Congressman Gary Condit.
    The main witness against him was tape recorded admitting to lying on the stand in the original trial.
